As we begin planning for the start of the Singapore-Hong Kong Air Travel Bubble, we look at 10 restaurants to check out in the vertical city.

Hansik Goo is Hong Kong's newest modern Korean restaurant that will make you think differently about its cuisine.

My appreciation of Korean food stems from two years spent in Seoul discovering, and vigorously eating my way through, its varied cuisine which is deeply rooted in its traditions and heritage. It's a fascinating cuisine to explore, and one that goes far beyond the barbecues and fried chicken that most are familiar with. From the diverse range of side dishes, or banchan, that is part and parcel of all meals, to the foundation of sauces, or jang, that defines the cuisine. Not to mention all the beautifully preserved and fermented dishes such as kimchi in which there are over 100 different types.

So when I was told that a new modern Korean restaurant was landing in Hong Kong, I was more than excited for its arrival. What's more, it is helmed by award winning chef Mingoo Kang of Seoul’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant Mingles. Hansik Goo, a collaboration with ZS Hospitality, is the new Korean restaurant I've been asking the food gods for: a restaurant that brings contemporary Korean cuisine, inspired by all of its traditions and full of playful twists and elevated flavours, to really showcase the food that I know and love.

To find out more, we took a moment with Chef Mingoo Kang to ask about the essence of Korean cuisine, what the new restaurant is all about and how it came to be.
